Ever since I was a child my parents instilled in me the idea that hard work resulted in a successful future. My parents had amazing jobs in Albania, they both graduated from college with the Albanian equivalent of a bachelor's degree, studied finances and accounting, and created good lives for themselves. Moving to America to provide their children with better educations resulted in their own educations not being valued, which consequently made it harder to get higher paying jobs. My father became a taxi driver to be able to watch his children while my mother went back to school. My parents have a combined income of about $47,000 a year. They have to take care of three children, themselves, and family overseas. Due to financial, health, and …show more content…
I have worked hard through my education and extracurriculars in order to attend a university which will give me the best connections and opportunities to propel me forward. I want to start my own business because I enjoy creating, delegating, and having a leadership role in whatever I am involved in. I want to be financially stable enough to help my family and still travel the world. I want to continue being involved in community service in my college education and into my future. I also desire to have a career in which I make enough money to help and donate to the underprivileged people of the world. After doing all of this I want to start a family and design my own home. I love interior designing, decorating, and organizing and this is something that I really look forward to in my future. I want to raise children who are not only educated in terms of academics, but also educated in the problems of the world like racism, sexism, wars, etc, and how to help these problems. I want to help raise a better future generation. That is my overall American Dream. I believe attending college will be the starting point for my American Dream. It will allow me to gain more experience and skills in terms of businesses which will later help me start one of my own. It will allow me to connect with others and gain a more unbiased view of the world. Attending college will provide me with a
The “American Dream” is a complicated topic to discuss. It has many different meanings depending on who you’re talking to. To me it means to have a healthy and happy family with a nice house and to do what I love to do. For many people their dream or even my dream is not attainable. I do not think that the “American Dream” is attainable for everyone. Some people do not have the perseverance or are not born into a situation where they can get an education. Some people may have that drive or the education or talent needed to accomplish what they want.
Everyone has a dream. Whether it is to have a family, or even to become a psychiatrist, a dream is present in everyone. Those dreams are mainly referred to as “American Dreams.” Hard work is needed to be able to get anywhere in life. The American Dream is attainable if one is willing to put in the work to achieve it.
Last year in October I came from school as usual I remember that day was very cold and I was covered in winter clothes my stomach growled from the hunger I had, so I went to eat a hot soup so that the cold would take away. While I ate the soup I listened as my parents talked I could not hear clearly so I decided to go quietly to listen to my parents they decided to move from Mexico to United States the reason why my parents decided that it was better to go to the United States was for job reasons, while I processed everything they said suddenly my mother called me along with my younger brother and explained the reasons why it was necessary for us to leave.
I was born and raised in the United States but my family was not born here, they came from an area south of Los Angeles, Mexico. In the border between the United States and Mexico, many immigrants have lost their lives attempting to achieve their promise dream. Many immigrants who cross the border pursue the American Dream. My family was one of the many immigrant families who attempted and fortunately succeeded in crossing over the border. My father’s family originated from Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. Many families just like mine risked their lives attempting to not only get to the border, but to cross it as well. My family did not differ much from the other immigrant families who sought to achieve economic stability and prosperity here
I would define my American Dream as having my dream job of becoming a neurosurgeon, marrying the man of my dreams, having a beautiful family, living life to the fullest and being happy while doing everything. I also have always wanted to travel the world and see many different places. I want to be very successful in life and to be able to do whatever I can for my family. My biggest part of my dream is to have fun no matter what I'm doing, who I'm doing it with, or where I'm doing it. All of these little dreams make up the American Dream that I have always had ever since I was a little kid.
First, let's define "American Dream". "American Dream" is what you would consider a "perfect life." It can be full of happiness, money, love, food, cars, whatever you desire, everyone has a different opinion. One person’s American Dream may be totally different from someone else’s, that is what makes us all individuals. My American Dream would include a good job and lots of money, spare time for my family and I, and most importantly, healthiness.
What we call the American Dream, the founding fathers called the pursuit of happiness. The American Dream is built on the promise that individuals from all walks of life can find success and prosperity here. It shapes from our opinions, desires, interests, cultures, geographical locations, and religions. Some presume the dream of becoming an engineer, a medical doctor, an athlete, a politician, or even maybe following their father’s footsteps and carrying on the family tradition of owning a restaurant. Sometimes, achieving this success is associated with the conception of receiving an education, especially a college education. The common debate of today’s society has always been whether
I decided to go to college because I believe that education is an important part of life and that being educated has many advantages. Like many, one of the biggest reasons for deciding to attend college is to create a better future for myself. Being a first-generation college student my parents have implanted on me the importance of college education, as it is something they wish they would have done themselves. As the first of four children to go to college, I feel that it is my responsibility to be a good example to my younger siblings, and show them that it is important to have goals in life and to better yourself as a person through education. I understand that an university education may not be for everyone, but it felt like the right choice for me. What I hope to get out of college is a life-changing experience, not only to get a better education, but to find something I am truly passionate about. I think it is important when choosing a career or a major to find something your heart truly wants and not just a career that will make you able to afford expensive things. I also hope that somewhere along the path to graduation and adulthood, I find myself as a person and develop ideas, opinions, and to be able to approach the world with an
For as long as I remember, my mother always talks about the importance of education. Her passion for education passed down to me.My parents leaving the comfort of their country for The American dream inspires me every day to achieve my dreams.
The American Dream is a dream to live in a place where someone’s rights and freedoms can not be taken away from them and where they can achieve their goals without anyone stopping them no matter what their background is. People achieved the American dream through motivation and hard work. Although as time passed, they became too lazy to actually work for it. Somewhere along the way, people began to interpret the American dream as a dream to live in wealth. Because of this, it has made them think that happiness is defined by how much money they have. They also started to find ways to get rich quick without working for it. Many people question whether or not the American dream is attainable or too far fetched. The American
From the early stages of American literature the dream of success has always been around, even at the very beginning. It has gone on the journey of merely surviving in small amounts of the literature from the native people to thriving in a growing society and being in everything. The dream to myself is becoming wealthy and being successful in everything I do. Today I believe that the dream has become different for everyone, every person has a different dream, a different way they want their life to go.
I am motivated by my dreams, being more success and also living a better life. In the great words of Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’’. So it’s very important to be ahead in life and for me to be focus of my career goals and what I want to accomplish. College also gives you great experience in the fields and real life training, college can also enhance skills set on computers and areas of work that high school didn’t teach you, so it’s important for me to get the education I need. A degree also can provide me with promotions in the near future.
Throughout life everybody has heard the line “Follow your dreams!” This simple sentence has inspired many. This idea of creating a dream and chasing it has inspired the American Dream. The American Dream is different for everybody. It could be getting married, creating a business, or being a hero. It turns out the American Dream is not for everybody. There is always something standing in the way of the American Dream. Race, social status, and the individual are standing in the way between the person and the American Dream.
Coming into a different world from a small village in Europe, into a world that makes your dreams come true, into a world that gives us so many opportunities, so many ideas, and so much love. In my own village, the village where people were happy just because they had bread to eat and water to drink. Young people like me tried to accomplish our goals every day and become successful personages, so we would then be able to help our parents, our grandparents, and just people who we loved, and just everyone in our little peaceful village. Coming to America was something like a dream within a dream. Now Knowing that accomplishing my goal is right next to me, it feels different. It’s a feeling that many are wishing to have but never get. Now, I know
The reason I came the United States is for study. Same as millions international students, I choose American as a place where I attend college, there are two reasons make me made this decision.
